Unexpected Announcement

I hinted at being pregnant in my last post but now that it has been confirmed by the doctor we feel comfortable announcing it. We are having our third child due oct.9th. We like to joke that we are 1 percenters because i was on birth control pills which claim to be 99% effective. Even though we were hoping for a little break we are thrilled to have another child enter our family. Jada and Makayla are so special to us, we love them alot and already feel the same towards our unborn child. It is exciting because I get to be pregnant along with both my sister and sister-in-law. Number three will mean alot of changes; larger vehicle, larger housing, another bed, bigger stroller, more car seats in the back seat. It is an exciting change. Our plans for scuba diving are being post poned for me until after the baby is born. Mike is still going ahead with scuba classes and he will wait for me to do a diving trip to the coast.
Makayla is 10 months, Jada was about the same so they will all be between 17-19 months apart.

Yesterday jada found a book that I had made some notes in and she told me "Mommy, don't color books you color paper". She got me some paper and had me draw on the paper. It was really funny. When she was going to bed last night she told us Jada is a big sister, I like being a big sister, and makayla is a little sister. We told her, makayla is going to be a big sister too soon and Jada is going to be a big sister twice. She seemed very pleased with that.

Makayla loves food. Jada is going through a bird stage and so often Makayla eats her food and then whatever jada didn't eat. People who see her eat are amazed at where all that food is going. No words yet but she practices alot with sounds. She is getting pretty sturdy on her feet maybe she will be walking by her first birthday.
